Not sure if this is an issue with the plugin [LocalSync](https://localsync.io/) (from the InfiniteWP folks) or LbF, but I’m noticing some very strange behavior. When pulling down the database from my live site, certain tables including wp-users and wp-posts get deleted (or just don’t get imported). This only happens on the newest version of Local. Everything works fine in 3.3. I’d like to upgrade to the latest version, but this is a bit of a blocker. Any help is appreciated 🙂 ---

Hey @impossiblycr8v – Thanks for your patience with this! I’ve never used LocalSync, but missing tables definitely sounds like something is breaking. Does the site still “sort of work” – obviously with lots of tables missing, it won’t work correctly, but if you access the site in a browser, does it actually load and give errors? Since it sounds like a MySQL issue, can you provide a zip of the `logs` folder under the site’s folder? You should see `logs` next to `app`. Also, can you please provide your Local Log? See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so: - [How do I retrieve Local’s Log?](https://localwp.com/community/t/how-do-i-retrieve-locals-log-file/3720) ---

I’m not sure if this is still an issue as I abandoned using LocalSync as a result of this problem. ---
